    I was waiting for this useless observation. The comic isn’t reality, its a comic.

      but the comic would have been so much funnier if they had followed these simple principles of inertia!

      there could have been a whole row of panels showing the kicker inching towards the kickee. and the silent scream is so much better personified with the kickee floating away out od the panels.

      it’s like the reek-reek-reek loading of the next camera exposure in shaun of the dead when the protagonists encounter their first zombie. it’s a minor detail but it adds so much more to the scene. it’s that pinch of spice that completely transforms the dish.

      but, hey, i guess a lot of people do prefer the blander foods. so let’s just chalk this up to creative differences.
